Peter--it may be too late for you to see this before your fight on Saturday (we've been having network problems, and I haven't been on the internet for more than about 5 minutes for a few days) but I wanted to try to wish you good luck! You couldn't have trained harder or smarter. You'll do well. Most of all have a good time.

Thanks doc. I lost, I'm disappointed by that, but yeah, I'm glad I did it. I enjoyed the day and no one got hurt. Well, not me and not by me, anyway. That's worth celebrating, so we went out for all-you-can-eat Asian buffet afterwards. Mmm...

The aim is to get in 3x a week of MMA and 2x a week of lifting. I need to prioritize my technique work if I want to stay in Advanced and do better. But my work schedule made 3x a week impossible - I had classes or clients, overlapping all but 3 MMA classes, and the other was overlapped by DeFranco's.

The Prowler work might shift around. I find steady-state cadio really boring but I have this Econo Prowler just sitting there when I get to work every morning, so I'll try to push it at least 1x a week for 6-10 trips to keep my conditioning up.

Hey, good job on the 295 dead. You're catching up with me. I think this is the only lift I'm still ahead of you on! I'm going to try for 310 this afternoon, if I can get out of work at a reasonable hour.

I'm sure I have more than 295 in me for a single, I just have to be smart about how to get there. I knew when I tried to pull the second rep today at 295 that I didn't have it, and my back would pay for it.

I'm the same Peter. I pulled 315 once about 2 years ago but 285 for 2 is about the most I've done in a while. It the lower back that gives out first and grinding out the last rep can mean a sore back for a week.
